About this calendar

A clearer way to see holidays.

Official and widely observed dates, clearly labeled by status.

Holiday pages separate official public dates from observances so that a cultural date is not mistaken for a statutory day off.

Choose the correct country and year, then open a month for legal-status labels. Employment rules can vary by province, state, employer, and sector.

Read our data and calculation methods for coverage and accuracy limits. If a date or result looks wrong, report a calendar error.

Good to know

How many long weekends are there in 2029?

2029 has 7 three-day weekends created by U.S. federal holidays. 3 more become 4-day weekends if you take one vacation day.

What happens when a federal holiday falls on a weekend?

For most federal employees, a Saturday holiday is observed on the preceding Friday and a Sunday holiday on the following Monday (5 U.S.C. 6103 and Executive Order 11582). Private employers often follow the same rule, but it is not required.

Do all employers give these days off?

No. Federal holidays apply to federal employees and federally chartered banks. Many private employers observe some or all of them, but it is a company policy decision.

Can I make a long weekend longer?

Yes. In 2029, Juneteenth (take Mon, Jun 18 off), Thanksgiving Day (take Fri, Nov 23 off), Christmas Day (take Mon, Dec 24 off) each turn into a 4-day weekend with one vacation day.
